The paper band around a skein tells you almost everything about the yarn.
Look for
- Weight, often shown as a number from 0 to 7
- Fiber content, like wool, cotton or acrylic
- Length in yards and meters, and weight in grams or ounces
- Suggested needle or hook size and gauge
- Care instructions
- Dye lot number: buy all skeins for a project from the same lot
